Emerging Rebel

Pax is a student mage, not a hero. But the empire is full of corrupt rulers and a city-breaking monster on the horizon. It's time to join the fight.

An audacious street rat, Pax scrambles to develop powerful and forbidden magic before his enemies can capture and ruin him. A monstrous beast capable of shattering the city's defenses is coming - and the corrupt ruling families of the Astan Empire will stop at nothing to extinguish any hint of rebellion.

Pax races to strengthen his crew and navigate new alliances as the stakes skyrocket. Can he unlock the secrets of light magic and gather enough people to his cause? Or will the empire's relentless grip crush him?
